According to some tweets, you were not the only one excluded from this meeting. So was Richard Sexton. http://rs79.vrx.net/works/observations/dns/events/icann/meetings/toronto
Actually, reading Richard's blog makes the situation worse -- considerably worse, to me. This was not a matter of not telling me, or forgetting to post the meeting notes publicly. This was ICANN calling security on a member of the public who wanted to attend a meeting. Richard was the wrong person to deny entry to. He is knowledgeble on ICANN issues and quite smart enough to know the difference between a policy meeting and a contractual-issues meeting This goes far beyond the "we didn't think it was important to others" or "we're not there to discuss policy" explanations. This was an issue of members of the public -- who were not being abusive -- being forcably extracted from an ICANN-funded meeting. - Evan
